Sugar and Spice Baby Shower {Party Printables}

Lately, I have been blessed with the gift of new babies.  My second son was born; moreover, I became an AUNT to a precious baby girl!  This was one baby shower that I took extra attention to detail as it was for my sister and her first child.  Of course, the entire event was based around the delectable display of chocolate and candy located at the Sweet Treat Dessert Table created by CW distinctive DESIGNS.

Party Printables {banner, cupcake toppers, signage, invitation, and food labels} are available at My Etsy Shop.

Birthday Candy and Dessert Buffet Table

Candyland Birthday Pink Candy Buffet Station The eye CANDY of the evening came as the guests exited the nightclub and entered the bar that was closed down and solely devoted to the table of goodies.  They were greeted by a heavenly table of sweets, designed and executed by CW distinctive DESIGNS.  The Candy and Sweet Treat Dessert Table, logo, and displayed artwork coordinated together.

I was so honored to be able to design the labels and graphics for the table myself, as well as provide the ideas for the artwork pieces that were showcased, featuring the guest-of honor.

Every single element of the table was precisely thought through, coordinating with the theme and cohesively bringing the event together.

|Go Green | Martitime Parc Wedding Candy Table

Going in the books as one of my favorite weddings of 2011 fell on 9.10.11.   What an awesome wedding date for such an extravagant event! This wedding was the start, for what I hope, as a long-lasting collaboration with TROIS EVENTS, Kasal NY Event Planning + MPW Media & Photography + KMG.  The candy popped and so did the green embellished details.  It was set inside of Martime Parc, a modern venue overlooking the Hudson, offering a perfect view of the September 11th Freedom Tower Memorial and lights.

| L+ N Tied the Knot| Wedding Candy Table

Thanks to Contemporary Image Photography, I can share a recent candy buffet I designed for two wonderful people:) The bride loves sweets so it was inevitable that the couple would have a display with delectable gummies, chocolate bites, and sugary goodness showcased for their guests! AND I was fortunate enough to be one of “those” guests.  Congratulations to Nick & Lauren!

Feel free to stop by our facebook page for some more photos of their display or visit our website to book your next candy buffet.

{Jungle Theme Inspiration} Baby Shower

With  jungle-themed bedding, plush monkeys, safari blankets, and baby elephants filling the aisles of Babies-R-Us, it was inevitable that there would be a huge request for  animal-decorated baby showers.  In one month, I designed safari-themed candy buffets and sweet treat dessert tables for THREE baby showers.  Here is a little inspiration for the next baby shower you have to plan:)

Animal prints are a must-have!  They add some spunk and, contrary to some belief, are not confining.  Blending animal prints is great and coordinates well with so many color schemes.  Whether it is for a baby boy, highlighted with blue hues,…

for a baby girl, featuring varied pink hues…

or, perhaps, it is a SURPRISE baby, showcasing neutral colors.

You can never go wrong with themed embellishments, such as customized water bottle labels, favor stickers, and table signs.

{Carnival-Style} Candy Buffets

Recently CW distinctive DESIGNS was asked to create a carnival-themed candy buffet for a beautiful little girl’s Communion.   

Although the party’s colors included purples, pinks, and greens, the mother had an excellent idea to go in a different direction for the boldly-colored candy buffet table.  For a person who loves to coordinate everything, I had some reservations; but, it worked perfectly!  It brought some flair to an elegant event.  I felt this table was “blog-worthy” because of the fun factor, and wished to share some party ideas for others.  What a unique theme for an outdoor party,  rustic location or, even, a simple backyard barbecue?

Some simple carnival elements were used in “distinctive” ways.  What is a carnival without cotton candy and popcorn?  Freshly-spun cotton candy was served in a package adorned with a personalized label.  Brightly-colored red popcorn was served in large carnival-styled bins that featured the carnival stripes that were used to tie everything together.

Candy Kabobs made with gummy sour belts topped with marshmallow hot dogs intrigued many people.  Peanuts were used in displaying the flowers.

Gianna’s sign highlighted the striped awning to mimic a “Big Top” tent.  

Additional embellishments included raffle tickets, candy button sticks, whirly and unicorn pops, a gumball machine, and LEDs that highlighted the table as the venue’s lights were dimmed.

Need a carnival-themed candy buffet at your next function?  Or, perhaps, this inspired another theme that you need help with.  Contact CW distinctive DESIGNS for your Candy Buffet or Sweet Treat Dessert Table.

{Trains, Planes, and Automobiles} Birthday Party

 

 I am very excited to share my son’s first birthday party with you today!  The most difficult task was wrapping my head around the idea that it was for my son who was turning ONE already…where does the time go???  We decided to go with the transportation theme of “Trains, Planes, and Automobiles.”  The colors featured were bright and bold (royal blue, red, yellow, aqua, green, and yellow). 

 It all started with the invitation, a little DIY project that I promise to share when the next few crazy months calm down!  They were plane tickets that featured each young guest’s name.  

DÉCOR:
I had several embellishments that coordinated with the theme.

Location 1 Featured the gablebox “goodie bags” for the kids and a huge tabletop gumball machine.  Each goodie bag was customized for the kids’ ages, including items such as car-themed bubbles, railroad-crossing bubblegum tape, books, rubber ducks atop trains, planes, and autos, and car stickers.

Location 2 It included “Baby Bites” that were served in themed cardstock in a cone display.  Treats for the babies included yogurt bites, organic fruit purees, cheerios, and peanut, butter, and jelly. 

Location 3 Sweet Treat Dessert Table. Featuring themed desserts and some other goodies, such as strawberry mascarpone shortcake, Oreo cheesecake cupcakes, traffic light brownies, and much more.  Candies included: color-coordinating jelly beans, gummies, and race car candy kabobs.

 

MORE DETAILS:
– Water bottle wrappers coordinating with the theme and colors

– Small train, plane, and automobile toys placed on tables as accents

– Balloon bouquets with the dessert, food, and favor table

– A mini blow-up swimming pool filled with play balls (turned out to be the hit of the day with the little ones)
